Orientalism - Imitations of Oriental styles.
Similar ambivalence is evident in art and literature. From the Renaissance to the 18th century Western designers attempted to imitate the technical sophistication of Chinese ceramics with only partial success. Chinoiserie is the catch-all term for the fashion for Chinese themes in decoration in Western Europe, beginning in the late 17th century and peaking in waves, especially Rococo Chinoiserie, ca 1740-1770. Early hints of Chinoiserie appear, in ...

| | | | | Georges Bizet: Encyclopedia II - Music of France - Folk music Main article: French folk music
As Europe experienced a wave of roots revivals, France found its regional cultures reviving traditional music. Brittany, Limousin, Gascony, Corsica and Auvergne were among the regions that underwent a popularization of folk music. Traditional styles of music had survived most in remote areas like the island of Corsica and mountainous Auvergne, as well as the more nationalist lands of the Basques and Bretons.
In many cases, folk traditions were revived in relatively recent years to cater to tourists. These groupes folkloriques tend to focus on very early 20th centur ...

| | | | | Georges Bizet: Encyclopedia II - Libretto - Relationship of Composer and Librettist Libretti for operas, oratorios, and cantatas in the 17th and 18th centuries generally were written by someone other than the composer, often a well-known poet. Metastasio (1698–1782) (real name Pietro Trapassi) was one of the most highly regarded librettists in Europe. His libretti were set many times by many different composers. Another noted 18th century librettist was Lorenzo da Ponte, who wrote the libretto for three of Mozart's greatest operas. Eugène Scribe was one of the most prolific librettists of the 19th century, providing the ...

The Inquisition had existed in many European countries before it came to Spain. It had existed in the Kingdom of Aragon for some two centuries but not in Castile until the year 1480 when the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, approved its establishment throughout Spain with the converso and Dominican friar, Tomás de Torquemada, as its first I ...

| | | | | Georges Bizet: Encyclopedia II - Carmen - History Du Locle, the artistic director of the Opéra-Comique commissioned Bizet to write an opera based on the Mérimée's novel in early 1873 to be premiered at the end of the year. However, difficulty in finding a leading lady meant that rehearsals did not begin until August 1874. Bizet bought a house at Bougival on the Seine, where he finished in the piano score in the summer of 1874. It took him a further two months to complete the orchestration. The difficultly in casting the title role was caused by the scandal that erupted when the libretto ...
